In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his only brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington, DC.

With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon, to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not.

Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary ten-year-old girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears.

Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.

Praise for The Bones Beneath My Skin

"A web of car chases, government conspiracies and alien encounters, all wrapped around a heartwarming story of love and found family set in the 1990s."The New York Times

"Even as the character arcs pack emotional punches and the plot builds with intensity, the story is balanced with the humor and wry character introspection Klune (In the Lives of Puppets) is known for . . . This reissued stand-alone solidifies Klune’s reputation for skillful prose and worldbuilding."Library Journal, starred review

"Are we going on an adventure? Yes, yes we are! This is the sci-fi romance adventure you never knew you needed. TJ's characters are broken but they are so full of heart and hope that you will lose yourself entirely to their story and find that they will continue to remain in your heart long after you have finished.”—Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Fall of Ruin and Wrath
